Eklund's Answers:

#1: What are some of your Hockey Watching Party Traditions?
We pull out the sofa bed and pick up sides for games that aren't involving the Flyers. As a kid we would always hang up the jerseys of the teams playing.
#2: Do you play any specific party games while you watch (friendly in house wagering, etc.)
No
#3: Give a recipe for your favorite snack.
Plate, Tortilla chips, drizzled with Salsa, and then shredded cheese, microwaved for three minutes...(sour cream on the side for the playoffs)
#4: What beer/soda is your drink of choice.
For me it's either coke or Bailey's on the rocks. My wife, Sierra Nevada
